Waiting for baby

If you know me, you know I am a planner. 

And not knowing when our baby girl will make her big debut into the world is hard!  The countdown says about 15 more days, we'll see.

I am completely exhausted lately. I wonder if I will get that burst of energy before labor starts or not.  Good thing is, I will know if I do because I am running on empty at the moment. 

For those that are wondering about my progress, (if you don't mind TMI read on....)

Last Friday at the doctors I was 1cm dilated and about 70% effaced.  I go again tomorrow morning and will get checked again.  I am hoping for a bigger number on both of those! I have been having a few good contractions, so I have hope! I mean this pregnancy can't last FOREVER right!!? Cause it sure does feel that way sometimes.

I try to waddle, I mean walk, a lot and I am still going to my prenatal swim class twice a week. 

Well, stay tuned for a progress report.

My 30's

I am officially done with my twenties!

Wow.

Joe gave me a drawing of my grandfather, we share the same birthday.  It is so special to me, and I am so proud of it! This picture just doesn't do it justice but I have to show it off.

Behind him is the San Juan Capistrano Mission

This is an actual photo of him. My husband is an amazing artist!

Ready to rock

Thank you Mom and Dad for the rocking chair!

I think we have everything ready to go, just waiting for baby to decide when she is ready to meet us.

I have heard a lot that my pregnancy has gone by so fast! =/ uhm... not from where I'm standing it hasn't.  It really has been such an incredible experience and I am thankful everyday for this blessing.  But I sure am ready to meet our little bundle of joy!

So this will probably be the last belly shot unless someone is sneaky in the hospital room before I deliver ;)

36 weeks aka 9 months aka are we done yet?

Don't mind the wet hair in a bun look I have going.

T-minus 4 days till my big 3-0. Wow.

But for now, I am still enjoying my 20's!!
